What'd ya get?

Merry Christmas all!! Now what'd ya get? Okay, so presents aren't the most important things on Christmas but you've got to admit you get excited when you see em'. Eh?

So I got another box of grids, a camera phone(totally unexpected but great), lots of socks, some chocolate, a scale for Ginny(she is now officially 2lbs 2ounces), books and a gift certificate to the movies(8 free times!). Overall I'm very pleased with my presents.

Ginny got a neon green ball with bell inside, timothy munchies and another kind of munchies from my mom. Oh and a cage remodel since I got more grids + a buddy on the 7th of Jan.

Merry, merry Christmas!!!

Re: What'd ya get?

I got a year pass to Cypress Gardens (the amusement park that's practically in my back yard) and a DVD. I also got lots of new clothes... which is what I asked for since I'm making the transition from college to "the real world" this summer, and lounge pants and t-shirts will no longer be appropriate attire. My parents got the boys a new hayroller and a hay mat for their new cage, which is going to be my present to them when we get back home. Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Re: What'd ya get?

I got lots of clothes (mostly from hot topic,) a My Chemical Romance cd, a The Used cd, Nintendo DS games, DVDs, a box of crackers (long story,) a mirror for my room, a My Chemical Romance calendar and a The Used poster. That's pretty much it. The guinea pigs got orchard grass, hay and veggie holders.

Re: What'd ya get?

I'm very pleased with my gifts. I got a tablet, and, if you don't know what that is, it's a little thing you hook up to the computer that you can draw on. Whatever you draw goes on the screen. You can also use it to edit photos. (Pig torture muahaha.) I also got a bunch of clothes from Hot Topic. I got these really cool PJ pants from Zumies. I got this cool scarf thing and some earrings and a bracelet (from the pigs, heh). I also got a stereo thing that you can hook your iPod up to; it works great. I got these two pairs of clogs, and over 300 dollars in cash and mall gift certificates. I also got a new bag/purse thing, and the cutest clock I have ever seen! It's a calico cat, and the eyes and tail swing back and forth! I've always wanted one! And we got my mom a digital camera and photo printer, so I'll have fun printing out a lot of piggy photos! =D

We're going to my relatives later, so I'll probably get some more gifts there. The pigs recieved a new veggie bell, which they are happily playing with. They also got some bermuda grass hay, and some endive (a rare treat for them because my grocer doesn't sell it). Plus, for their birthday two days ago they got a giant pigloo. And, with the money I recieved I will definitely buying some grids and more coroplast for a cage remodel! It's high time for one.

We got my dog this rubber shoe and a rope toy which he loves! He won't leave us alone till we play with him with it! We got my cats some little catnip mice, and they're getting "high" off them as I type. We also got them this scratching thing that you hook to the side of the doorway or the corner of a wall. So when they rub against it it combs and scratches their cheek, you know how cats like to do that. They love it!

Anyways, I hope everyone has a great Christmas! I'm off to prepare the pigs breakfast!

Re: What'd ya get?

Oh I know! My mom got our cats catnip drops and Alley got such a high, he was rolling like a cat in heat! They also got a bird toy which can be hung up on the wall. Tipu won't stop playing so that my sister is threatening to cut off the bell.

I forgot, I also got the cutest Happy Bunny book + knee socks and a gift certificate to a vegan food store.

Re: What'd ya get?

Ok I got a Homedics Luxury Foot Massager, a leather binder book for work and some pjs from hubby & the kids. I get to open more at my mom's tomorrow. We'll go see my mother-in-law tonight and I know I'll get my Jockey underwear. She's gotten them for me every year since hubby and I have been together. It's cool except the year when I had to tell her to get a bigger size (after baby #3 was born). I still haven't told her to go down a size. Oh well, maybe next year.

Re: What'd ya get?

Happy Christmas!!

I hope you had a brilliant day (for those of us in UK) and do enjoy your Christmas Day if you are over in the US and your day has just started.

I was spoilt this year...maybe something to do with the fact that we will be pretty bankrupt next year due to the twins. I got:

- My own 'Kodak Easy Share' digital camera plus colour printer.

- 'Friends' DVD box set (all episodes)

- PS2 steering wheel and rally game

- A new piggy ornament

- 3 CDs - James Blunt, Green Day and Westlife

- The other usual items, like smellies, jewellery and photo frames.

And of course the pigs got their tubs of parsley (only one has been eaten between the four of them), and they had their lovely big salad of about 6 different lettuces and coriander. Their little donut dog bed went down well, but they don't seem to have been in it much since I put it in their cage.

Not really. I wish I could have just skipped it all. We do Christmas on Christmas Eve with my family and the kids. The kids had a great Christmas.

Jesse (my son) got a jacket, a cell phone, a blanket, a collectible model car kit, clothes, socks, candy, a travel kit for when he goes on school trips, and some other stuff.

Jaimee (my daughter) got legos, a fairytopia barbie, a cd player, a cinderella playset, toy horses, clothes, lip gloss, stationary, and other stuff.

I got some bakeware from my parents, a flashlight keychain from Jesse, a 9" Hazelnut Creme pillar candle from Jaimee and a $20 gift card from my brother for Wal-Mart. I am going to use the gift card plus a little extra and get a shop vac that I have been wanting. I asked for it for Christmas but didn't get it.

I wonder if Bailey got to open that huge present yet? I have a feeling I know what it is and hope for her sake that I am right.

It looks like most of you got great presents for Christmas!
